Dude... it's killin... five more weeks in a cast... then it'll be a few weeks learning to weight bare again...

(I severed my Achilles tendon in my right foot while playing floor hockey a week or so ago~ editor)

Yeah... sucks. can't play drums.. right now my brother is learning the tunes with my cover band so he can take my x-mas gigs... he's doing awesome...

Dude's gonna snag around $500 for two gigs.. damn. I needed that dough. He's so cool he's all like "hey... you wanna split it?"

hahhaa..

NO.

It's his money now.. so the foot.. .it throbs.. let me give my best description of what this feels like:

Imagine, your running around, playing a game you love, having one of those games where you feel unstoppable (they happen...) ... you've been productive (I had two goals and an assist.. .yea!) and suddenly, out of no where, WHILE STANDING STILL, someone whacks you in the back of the calf muscle with a hammer as hard as they can, and you feel your tendon snap like an eslastic into your leg... (of course there was no hammer, it just...snapped...)

I went down like I was shot, and then it was tolerable pain, but bad.... about 8.5 /10 from the worst pain I've ever had as a 10 and 0 is no pain...

It's hot, burning, throbbing... tender...

I had to wait 30 hours for surgery (hey.. in some places people don't get that luxury so I am grateful) and AFTER the surgery it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life yet... it felt like a concrete block on my leg, with curling irons in it, and a vice through my ankle, and another on my calf muscle. If I stood on my crutches, it was so throbbing, swollen and sore I couldn't stand... now, a week and a day after surgery, it's a constant hot, itching, ache...

The lame part is.. (ah.. punny) I did this 7 years ago to my left foot...

And that's my story.

News: The Lane christmas party is tonight. Lane do our printing, and I think we are an important enough of a client that the production team and the boss are invited to their client christmas party. Its in the Mortlock Library this year. Interesting!

Weather:37 degrees, and windy. What a fucking awful day.

Music:Ween's new album La Cucarachia arrived, finally. Ordered it around the same time I bought my Ween tickets. It has been ripped and stashed on my iPod.

i just saw ween on this tour a couple weeks ago and they played a few songs from this. honestly, i like their old stuff much better. the few new songs they played from the new CD (which i haven't heard) kind of dragged on in the show. excellent show though, and got a roses are free encore!

i'll let you know how it is. It has a muthfuck'n big cockroach on the front, so it can't be all bad.

Roses Are Free. Nice. I am hoping they bring some Big Jilm.

ha, no big jilm in santa cruz, although some fool standing next to me kept yelling for them to play it for half the show at each song break.

that wasn't you was it?

It's just about 12:30 and I get to get up at 6 to go to ... brrr ... effective writing. I just finished writing an 8 pager on Abraham. It needs some editing pretty severely, as well as an intro and concluding paragraph, but I just can't think right now. I'll finish that stuff at lunch tomorrow, get it handed in, and go Christmas Tree shopping with the family.

Frick I hate snow. I was working on my paper earlier today in the library at school, and just looking outside and seeing the dismal city covered with slosh makes me want to jump off a roof. Man. It's nice when it's falling, but when it's permanently frozen to the ground for 5 months, causing your vehicle to rust up at about 10x the speed and causing a lot of traffic delays ... MAN. Oh ... it's also nice to go to school in -25 C weather EVERY MORNING. Just the other day, I was standing outside at noon, thinking about how nice and warm it was. I checked, and it was -12. I'm going to have to move to BC when I grow up.

A potential employer may see this you know.

Like my band had found some things I posted about 'me not being crazy about being in that band' and thought I was bad mouthing them. I had to explain to them that some of ya'll actually knew me and would understand WHY I wasn't crazy about that band when I first joined. Embarrassing.
